Thread: JDBC driver/connection

I am starting to use Java to build a client for the database and I read that I have to use a JDBC driver.

What is the name of the JDBC driver for PostgreSQL? Is it shipped with the rest of the software?

TIA for you patience with this simple question.

Rather than give you an answer that will simply raise more
questions... take a look in the Programmer's Guide (in postgres docs)
in the Client Interfaces section. There's a whole section on it in
there. If you're just getting into JDBC, I've been told that the
Addison-Wesley book is very good.
